Summary
In her testimony, Dr. Michelle Perro presents a comprehensive overview of the toxic assault on children’s food supply and its impact on their health. She begins by discussing the alarming rise in autism rates, obesity, and asthma among children in Canada and the United States. Dr. Perro then delves into the widespread use of glyphosate, a herbicide commonly found in genetically modified crops, and its detrimental effects on human health.
Dr. Perro explains how glyphosate disrupts the gut microbiome, impairs detoxification processes, and contributes to various health issues, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). She emphasizes that children are particularly vulnerable to toxic exposures due to their higher intake of food, water, and air relative to their body weight.
The testimony highlights the prevalence of glyphosate in common foods, including infant formulas, and presents research showing its negative impact on neurobehavioral development in children. Dr. Perro also discusses the presence of heavy metals in infant formulas and processed foods, raising concerns about their safety for consumption by children.
Throughout her testimony, Dr. Perro advocates for organic, regenerative farming practices and encourages parents to prioritize whole, unprocessed foods in their children’s diets. She stresses the importance of cooking at home, growing one’s own food when possible, and using filtered water for drinking and cooking.
Dr. Perro concludes by calling for action to protect children’s health, emphasizing the need for parents to take responsibility for their children’s nutrition and health care. She recommends homeopathy and nutrition as tools for parents to care for their children at home and encourages a shift away from processed foods and towards whole, organic foods.
